I hope they follow tradition and call it the Super Switch

Also featuring Dante from Devil May Cry Series.

How is that tradition? It happened one time. Successor name suffixes and prefixes used: super, color, advance, mini, 64, i, 3, new, u. It could be anything.

Edit: ah no, there was also super game boy, I guess that's the only one they repeated. But that was specifically for super NES compatibility.

Do "i", "mini" and "new" really count as new consoles? i and new were just upgrades to the same console, I believe, and I'm not sure what "Mini" was even for..

Uh, there was a GameBoy Micro, but that's the closest that comes to mind.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Oops yes I meant the micro, not mini

I mean, they were direct successors. I imagine the next console won't be something completely different than the switch, so I imagine I will be some sort of switch 2.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

None of those were direct successors, though

The Super Nintendo Entertainment Switch

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago

How about the Swiitch? You get the roman numeral 2 in there and the name's similar enough to the original Switch, so customers will be confused as to whether this is a new console or an iteration of the current one. Just like the Wii U!

Super Switchtendo

It's an Nvidia chip, so Switch Super.

Who am I kidding, if they followed Nvidia it'd be Switch AI.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Super Switch 4064 Ti Super Ti (one is pronounced T-I, the other is "tie")

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 6 months ago

Or Ultra Switch, as a throwback to the 64's name before it was officially announced, which also means lots of Ultra games.

I don’t think they’re in a hurry to repeat the WiiU
